1. The Department of Basic Education (DBE) has requested the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) to ensure that all parents of learners who wrote the 2013 Annual National Assessments (ANA) in Grades 1 - 6 and 9 are provided with a report on their child's performance. This report must contain the levels and percentages achieved by the learner, the grade average for the subjects at the school and comments by the educators on the learners’ strengths and areas requiring attention.
2. The report form will be available from 21 October 2013 on the Centralised Education Management Information System (CEMIS) under the "Assessments" tab. Principals are requested to ensure that the learner reports are issued to parents by 31 October 2013.
3. The WCED sincerely appreciates the work done by teachers and principals in administering, conducting and marking the ANA, and kindly requests that schools analyse their ANA results and use them to strengthen teaching and learning.
